Sorry for the repost, something's goofy over here and I wasn't sure if the
original made it.
After a recent reboot, logging is no longer functioning, and qmail-start
just sits there, a zombie process. I need logging to work, and I can't
figure this out, help!
:)

/var/qmail/rc:

qmail-start ./Maildir/ multilog t /var/log/qmail

Here are the processes running once the whole shebang starts up (these same
processes are running when you svc -d /service/qmail followed by an svc -u
/service/qmail):
609 ? S 0:00 tcpserver 0 pop-3 /var/qmail/bin/qmail-popup

4127 tty1 S 0:00 qmail-send
4128 tty1 Z 0:00 [qmail-start <defunct>]
4129 tty1 S 0:00 qmail-lspawn ./Maildir/
4130 tty1 S 0:00 qmail-rspawn
4131 tty1 S 0:00 qmail-clean
6601 pts/0 S 0:00 grep qmail
No logging taking place.
And the funny thing was: The only change I made was made earlier last week,
and I had svc -d and svc -u the qmail service to instance that change. This
happened all of the sudden (unless I made a change somewhere and forgot
about it)
Running RH6.1
Thanks in advance for the help!

Is this the first time you've rebooted since installing or modifying
your startup files? If so, you probably need to debug them.
If the scripts worked before, but don't work now, you should to try to
identify what's changed since they last worked.
Failing that, show us exactly what you're doing, and tell us what
platform you're on.
